Talk:Next of kin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Spouse
is your spouse classed as 'next of kin'
[edit] Examples
The article could do with some concrete examples on the use of the concept in different jurisdictions. Eg, what is the order of priority between siblings, grandparents etc. Does it vary from one place to another? CalJW 15:59, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Worldwide view
Added worldwide view tag. The first issue I noticed is that, under UK law, NOBODY can susbtitute their consent for that of a patient, despite that this article refers to the next of kin given consent on the patients behalf when the patient is incapacitated. -*- u:Chazz/contact/t: 19:36, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
